Hey folks,
I'm cross-posting this here, as well as comp.os.vms.
I'd like to introduce myself, and my first VAX acquisition, which is technically an "rtVAX 3400" which I made a lowball best-offer for on eBay, and picked up locally today. I have only powered it on headless, and it starts with the "6" on the hex-display, and ends at E, which I've read is often a memory problem, but I presume is not good
It came with your standard processor module, an eight-port CXY08-M serial QBUS module, a Dilog SQ739 SCSI controller, an M7622 5017155-01 32MB memory module, and a TQK70 tape drive controller (but no tape drive)
I've got a SCSI2SD unit, and would like to try booting NetBSD on it, for starters. Does anyone here have any recommendations? I have a VT420, but no MMJ cable.
I found the Dilog SQ739 manual at https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_dilog21200kandTapeControllerOct91_1557362
(or https://ia601909.us.archive.org/29/..._SCSI_MSCP_Disk_and_Tape_Controller_Oct91.pdf for the PDF version)
...but haven't really delved into where to go from here.
